The father's division of his property among his sons and the wife's share

Question:
The questioner says: My father divided his property among his children. He has several daughters, and my share and that of my siblings was a farm, a house, and a group of sheep. We want to divide that. Does our mother participate in the division? And if so, what is her share?

Answer:
Yes, a person may divide his wealth among his heirs according to what Allah has made obligatory, according to what Allah has made obligatory for wives, for children, and for whoever inherits from him. He gives each one his share, with the male receiving the share of two females. If he distributes his wealth like an inheritance among his heirs while he is alive, there is no harm in that. However, it is better for him to hold onto his wealth and not distribute it, because he is in need of the money, and because he does not know who may come in the future. Perhaps he will have sons or daughters in the future; he does not know what will happen. So it is better for him to hold onto his wealth and benefit from it during his life, and when he dies, it belongs to the heirs according to what Allah has prescribed. This is better. Yes.
